DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The inventors investigated the development of novel HIV protease inhibitors and found that peptide derivatives having an amino acid isostere of a β-amino-α-hydroxycarboxylic acid residue represented by following general formula (8), especially (8′), exhibit a marked inhibition of HIV protease and thus completed the present invention.

The inhibitory activity may be derived from a hydrogen bond formed between a hydroxy group of the above-mentioned β-amino-α-hydroxycarboxylic acid residue and Asp25 in the active site of HIV protease, and also from the other hydrogen bond formation by a carbonyl group in the active site. The inhibitory activity is presumed to be obtained by fixing the conformation of the neighboring amino acid residue by said carbonyl group through the amide bond.

The presence of at least one of the B¹, B², B³, B⁴, B⁵ and B⁶ is sufficient for the definition of general formula, and the presence of B³ and B⁴, especially B³, is preferable for HIV protease inhibitory activity.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the β-amino-α-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivatives represented by the general formula (9) include, for example, inorganic acid addition salts such as hydrochloride, sulfate, and phosphate, organic acid addition salts such as acetate, oxalate, maleate, metal salts such as sodium, potassium and calcium salt, and organic amine salts such as triethylamine salt.

Another embodiment of the present invention relates to novel β-amino-α-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivatives and salts thereof represented by the following general formula (12) or (12′).

In the general formula (12) and (12′), n represents 1 or 2, A represents a hydrogen atom or a peptide N-terminal protective group, B¹, B², B³, B⁵, and B⁶ represents independently single bonds or an amino acid residue optionally the amino group of said amino acid may be substituted with a hydrocarbon residue having 12 or less carbon atoms, B⁷ represents a single bond or an amino acid residue represented by the following formula (13) with a proviso that XR²R³ represents the following general formula (13′) when B⁷ is a single bond, X represents a nitrogen atom or an oxygen atom, R¹ represents a lower alkyl group, an alicyclic hydrocarbon group, an aromatic hydrocarbon group or a heterocyclic group optionally substituted with an amino group, a mercapto group, a hydroxy group, a carboxy group, a carbamoyl group, an alicyclic hydrocarbon group, an aromatic hydrocarbon group or a heterocyclic group, R² and R³ each represents a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group having 12 or less carbon atoms which form cycles by forming bonds between said carbon atoms which may optionally be replaced with an oxygen atom, nitrogen or a sulfur atom, with the proviso that no R³ is present when X represents an oxygen atom, R⁴ represents a carbamoyl group, a carboxy group, a cyano group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a hydroxy group, a lower alkoxy group, a lower alkylthio group, a lower alkanesulfonyl group, a sulfonyl group, a lower alkanesulfinyl group or a sulfamoyl group, R⁵ represents an optionally substituted arylmethyl group, and R⁶ has the same meaning as that in the following general formula (13):

wherein R⁶ and R⁷ represents a bivalent hydrocarbon group forming a 5-7 membered ring optionally substituted or fused with the other 5-7 membered ring, and a part of carbon atoms in said rings optionally replaced with hetero atoms.

The β-amino-α-hydroxycarboxylic acid residue having the structure represented by the general formula (8) can be synthesized by conventional methods. For example, the amino group of the amino acid represented by the general formula (14) is first protected by a known protecting such as a tert-butoxycarbonyl group.

In the general formula (14), R¹ has the same meanings as in the general formula (9). And then, the carboxy group of the protected amino acid is esterified a and hydroxymethyl group is introduced by reduction.

Said hydroxymethyl group is converted into a formyl group by the reaction with an oxidant such as dimethylsulfoxide, which is caused to react with sodium cyanide to make a cyanohydrin compound. The resultant compound is hydrolyzed, for example, with hydrochloric acid to give said β-amino-α-hydroxy-carboxylic acid. The groups of general formula (8) have two asymmetric carbon atoms and therefore, compounds having the residue represented by general formula (8) are often obtained as a mixture of (2S,3S) and (2R,3S) compounds from a starting material of an optically active compound represented by the general formula (14), for example, an S-type compound. In the present invention those mixtures can be used but isomers obtained by a separation with conventional methods such as silica gel column chromatography are preferred. For the separation, a suitable protecting group may be introduced to an amino group or a carboxy group. For example, a compound with general formula (8), such as (2RS,3S)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenyl-butanoic acid can be separated into (2R,3S) and (2S,3S) isomers by the protection of an amino group with tert-butoxycarbonyl group and a carboxy group with benzyl ester, followed by silica gel column chromatography.

The peptide derivatives represented by general formula (9) of the present invention, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, inhibit cleavage of a peptide substrate, for example, Ac-Arg-Ala-Ser-Gln-Asn-Tyr-Pro-Val-Val-NH₂ (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., 159, 420 (1989)) by chemically synthesized HIV protease, in which two cysteine residues in the reported sequence (Science, 230, 949 (1985)) were replaced with alanine residues, or recombinant HIV protease (Biochemistry, 29, 264 (1990)). Especially, β-amino-α-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivatives represented by general formula (12′) exhibit little inhibition against other protease such as pepsin or renin. Therefore, the peptide derivatives of the present invention can be used as a selective inhibitor of HIV protease and may be used for the therapy and prevention of AIDS and AIDS related diseases.

The peptide derivatives represented by general formula (9) can be prepared from amino acid derivatives having the residue represented by general formula (8) by conventional methods in peptide chemistry. L-type amino acid residues are preferred for B¹, B², B³, B⁴, B⁵ and B⁶ in general formula (9). The configuration in the amino acid residue represented by general formula (8) varies with the neighboring amino acid residue. For example, the preferred configuration in the amino acid residue represented by general formula (8) means (2R,3S) when B⁴ represents a phenylalanine residue, and the preferred configuration means (2S,3S) when B⁴ represents an amino acid residue in the general formula (11). This may be caused by changes in the conformation of the peptide chain due to the ring structure of amino acid residue in B⁴ in general formula (11). Separation of isomers may be carried out after peptide bond formation started from isomeric mixture of the amino acid derivatives having a group represented by the general formula (8).

The preferred peptide derivatives represented by the general formula (9) are illustrated in the Tables. The example numbers in Tables 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 represent a series of compounds.

Table 8 sets forth the SEQUENCE ID NOS. and peptide sequences corresponding to those peptide derivatives in Tables 1-7 which contain an unbranched sequence of four or more L-amino acids.
